There's no grand plan. Just draw something a day. I may use drawing pencils (I seem to have loads of those) I may use Biro or other pens - I don't know. For this one I just used my lovely Rotring propellor pencil that is actually my work pencil ( I am a bit obsessed with nice pens or pencils for work) and, do you know, it was lovely to draw with.

I may be really brave and start using ink but one thing, I don't have an eraser so there won't be any rubbings out!!

And I'll only share what I think might be worth sharing. And I might also do some tracing too ( well, I 'fess up, I already have to help me with faces, but that will probably be a blog post in its own right).

Pop over to Laura Kemshalls blog. She was doing this is September but I failed to get my act into gear to join her then.

Love your teapot - lively, believable and definitely one to take tea from! Good luck with this discipline. I attempt to draw every day from time to time but the most I've managed is about a week before I get side-tracked to develop something I've drawn or to do something else. Still I know it would do me good to persevere ...

I don't think it would pour very well - just too bonkers!! It's still early days so it will be interesting how I get on and how disciplined I am. Hope I do better than the diet, which has gone to pot completely (sat here sipping a glass of wine and nibbling crisps!)

Welcome!

I'm Hilary, a textile and stitch enthusiast but with a day job that could not be further removed from the world of art and textiles. I enjoy writing my blog, recording my life outside of the day job, discovering my art and finding that work life balance - hence the title of this blog. I hope you enjoy reading about these little adventures too.
